I was never prompted with question of itemizing or taking the Standard Deduction. My spouse hasn't entered her return yet. We want to file separately. TurboTax is taking me directly to itemizing deductions without any option for the Standard Deduction. And, when I zero'd out all of the itemized deductions, there is still no Standard Deduction presented. The formums aren't allowing me to respond to the Experts questions either. Please let me know what I need to do to get the system to present the Standard Deduction. I appreciate your help---again, it appears I'm locked out of replying. much appreciated--!
